Bob & Cate, Out On A Date Mike · June 15, 2013 · Cate O’Malley, left, and Bob Sweeney on a Chicago evening, circa 1952. Photographer unknown A picture of my mother and father stepping out for a night on the town; Cate was probably no older than 21 and Bob was probably around 23. I love this photograph and its hazy, noirish, nostalgic quality. It looks like a memory.
